Jubilee....?
I am sure this has been covered already but I have a simple question for my fellow inflatable friends......is there anything worthwhile that the GF and I can do with our little Aerotec on the Thames during the Royal Pageant? Cheers in advance Will

If you venture onto the river during the pageant without being part of the organisation, you'll probably get a visit from the boys in black & I don't mean the amateurs from the Met

If you're not part of the event I wouldn't bother going afloat. Everyone who is part has had to submit their details for a police check; you'll probably get turned away as you head down the river.

You're also likely to the boat swamped with the number on the river kicking up wakes

Rnli in some areas are doing their own river or harbour pagents
you could perhaps join in one of theirs though there maybe a fee , river Tyne in the north east is just one of them .

Did hear At a last review the RNLI has more boats than the Royal Navy these days ,, and I don't think it's a joke
